Basically I am new to excel but I am trying to have it where when someone
inputs a certain number from a list of numbers that it will put in the proper
"x's" in the column on the sheet. I have put the list of numbers and the X's
that belong to those numbers in columns on sheet 2 but I can't seem to get it
to show up on sheet 1 and I am sure I am using the wrong commands too.

On Sheet2, make sure your list of numbers is in the first column, and the X's
are in the second column.

In Sheet1, type a number in cell A1, and in A2 enter:
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)
and you should get the corresponding number of X's if the number you entered
in A1 matches a value in column A of Sheet2.

Ok, let me see if I can put this better and I apologize for my confusion. On
sheet1 on column E I have the people input a number that I wish to reference
on Column A on sheet2. When the number matches on sheet1 matches the number
on sheet2 in column A, I want it to place what the X's from Sheet2 column B &
C into Sheet1 column C & D.

Each number will have either an X or a blank cell that corresponds to the
individual number on sheet2. (ex: A5 300 X X A6 301 X - A7 302
- X, etc...)

Let me make sure I got it right, so in Sheet2 A5=300, B5=X, C5=X, A6=301,
B6=X, C6=(blank), A7=302, B7=(blank), C7=X and so on?

If I understand correctly this time, you should put in Sheet1 C1:
=VLOOKUP(E1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)

and in Sheet1 D1:
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:C,3,FALSE)
